Digital Communication and MC6's Instrument Data - Getting and Editing Mapped Data 49
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION AND MC6'S INSTRUMENT DATA
With this feature, you may add instrument data to MC6 from Instruments using
Digital Communication:
HART
®
instruments,
FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1
tm
instruments and
PROFIBUS PA
tm
Instruments
All you need is connect the instrument to MC6, select a communication protocol
and receive data of the Instrument using Digital Communication to MC6's In-
strument Data. No error prone manual entry of Instrument Data.
MC6 has pre-entered default mappings (which Digital Communication Instru-
ment field goes to which field in MC6) but you may customize the mapping for
each instrument model you use.
Notes.
Utilizing this feature requires that your MC6 has the Document-
ing Calibrator option as well as the option to communicate with
the smart instrument type (Fieldbus option) you want to add to
MC6's instrument data.
You may easily populate CMX's Instrument database by first
mapping instrument data to MC6 and then transferring the in-
struments to CMX.
More of Instrument's utilizing Digital Communication can be
found in Part 7 of this manual.
GETTING AND EDITING MAPPED DATA
PREPARATIONS
The data mapping can be done to a new instrument or to an existing instrument
in MC6. The Instrument's Output has to be one of the following:
Current (measurement),
HART
®
,
FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1
tm
or
Profibus PA
tm
.
Note.
With Current Measurement as the Instrument's Output, the
communication is available for the HART transmitter found in
address 0 only.
